Description
The prevention and treatment of strabismus and amblyopia is challenging, often in very young patients, but the Leukoplast Eye Occlusor patch should reliably keep out the light and meets individual patient needs. The occlusor is intended for the prophylactic or therapeutic use of strabismus or amblyopia in children. It is impermeable to light, does not hinder the movement of the eye and is well tolerated even by sensitive skin. The eye occlusor is comfortable to wear, with or without wearing glasses and can be worn on the left or right eye. It provides reliable adhesion and maintains skin integrity. There are also monster stickers provided to be applied to each dressing. There are 30 eye occlusors in a box.
Sizes:
- Infant – up to 3 years of age, 4.7cm x 6.7cm
- Child – 3 years of age or older, 5.5cm x 7.6cm
Uses
The Leukoplast Eye Occlusor is intended for the prophylactic or therapeutic use of strabismus or amblyopia in infants.
Application
• The Leukoplast Eye Occlusor should be large enough to cover the child’s eye completely – how long the eye patch is worn each day will depend on how old the patient is and how poor the vision is in the weaker eye
• Clean and dry the eye and the surrounding skin
• Unwrap the eye occlusor and hold it by the protective backing, with the patch side facing down
• Peel back the protective backing, but do not remove it
• Place the patch on the eye, pull away the protective backing, and press the edges down
• If the patient wears glasses, they should be worn over the adhesive patch – do not stick the patch on the glasses lens as it will not be effective
• Lubrication of the skin after patch removal can be helpful to avoid skin irritation
